As we inch ever closer to the end of the 2022-23 NBA season, the true title contenders are coming into focus. In addition to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference, it is safe to say the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers have a claim to such a status. In the league’s Western Conference, we can say the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets should be able to say they are true contenders with confidence.
But among those five clubs, how would one rank them according to the strengths of such a claim for each club?
That was the exercise du jour of Sam Vecenie, the host of the Athletic’s “Game Theory” podcast in a recent conversation with guest Andrew Schlecht.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the pair had to say about how these five contenders stack up.
